In a quieter moment, I lay on the sofa with the little one perched on top of me. We listened to an old Steve Green Hide 'Em in Your Heart Bible memory CD -- the same songs their mommy listened to when she was little. "Let us not grow weary in doing goodIn due season we will reap

Let us not grow weary in doing goodIn due season we will reap

If we don't lose heartIf we don't lose heartIn due season we will reapIf we don't lose heartIf we don't lose heartIn due season we will reap..."(I need those words in my own Mommy soul for when it gets wild around here with my children still at home!)My daughter said they listen to these songs on YouTube. I haven't found the channel for them yet, but I did find this other Steve Green oldie about children -- one I listened to often when our first children were little. "Children are a treasure from the Lord." Maybe that's why we had ten of them... (But it never hurts to be reminded!)

I love Steve Green's voice...haven't listened to him in years! When I saw your grandsons' images, I was reminded that I once had two boys just two years apart at that age. Now they are 31 and 33...but neither is married, and I don't have any grandchildren. I promised them I wouldn't "bug" them anymore.

You are going to have many, many grandbabies by the time all your children have children. How precious!! Hey, you could have one hundred if all ten children had ten...I'm sure you never thought about that before, LOL!!

Thanks for linking up over at WholeHearted Home this week. Thanks for being so faithful in stopping b y!!

Gentle Parenting

As apostles of Christ we could have been a burden to you, but we were gentle among you, like a mother caring for her little children. We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us.~~ 1 Thessalonians 2:7-8

And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them. Mark 10:13-16

Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. ~~ Ephesians 6:4
